Your personal guide to the mountains

Tanya is a unique combination of positivity and reliability. Together, we successfully climbed Elbrus from the north. It wasn't easy, with lightning bolts flying at the end, but Tanya handled every situation perfectly. And the hike wasn't a dull endeavor: Tanya constantly (but unobtrusively) taught us incredibly useful mountain tips, with a smile and sometimes even singing! Then, my daughter and I went ski touring with Tanya in Krasnaya Polyana. Even with the less-than-ideal weather, everything went smoothly and, once again, safely. The logistics were spot-on, everything was on schedule. Tanya is at home in the mountains, and it's wonderful to experience them with a professional and a good person.

I have little experience in ski touring, so I turned to Tatiana as a professional in this matter, outlined my level of training and approximate places where I would like to ski tour. Tatiana, with knowledge of the matter, professionally suggested a place that would suit a rider like me))) also that have good snow for our dates. In general, even at the start, I was confident that nothing should spoil the adventure, and so it turned out. It is quite difficult to get to Ridder because there are no direct flights, but Tatiana organized logistics quite conveniently and comfortably. By mutual agreement between trains, we even visited a museum, and did not just sit stupidly at the station))). Accommodation during the trip was conveniently chosen by location.
Well, the skiing is the bomb. Tanya prompts and tells everything, you feel safe with her.

I went to the mountains with Tatiana fifteen years after the previous non-walking route in the mountains and eighteen after the previous AD mountaineering route. You still remember well what can go wrong and where you can "screw up", but you don't always know what and how exactly to do correctly. In addition, technology has stepped forward. Well, I would not have risked climbing first at all. In general, at first it was scary. But very soon came the understanding that Tatiana does everything correctly - chooses the route, climbs, organizes stations, belays, manages to monitor the weather and my condition, so it was quite quickly possible to switch from the "struggle for survival" mode to the mode of enjoying the process. We went six rock routes from PD to AD in a pair. I have not yet decided for myself: did I return or just "remembered my youth".
And Tatiana is also a positive person, so a solid ten out of ten!

We met Tatiana in Luzhba on a ski tour. And then I came to Tanya to ski tour in Sochi on the Aibga ridge. Well, what can I say - it's great with Tanya!
Both sincerely and professionally, and she explains a bunch of all sorts of subtleties and nuances! We got into a not very good situation with the snow, there was little of it, it was blown out on the tops, but Tanya still led us along good routes, and even found softer snow on the descents). And she edited some cool videos as a keepsake)).
Thank you!

This was my first Ski Tour in my life, and, to be honest, I was a little worried. But Tatiana created such a warm and confident atmosphere from the very first minutes that all the worries went away! She paid great attention to safety, patiently explained the technique of movement and descent on unprepared slopes. The route turned out to be incredibly interesting - with picturesque views and ideally selected areas for skiing.
Thanks to Tatiana, I not only mastered the basics of Ski Touring, but also improved my level of skiing off-piste and in powder! Many thanks for this experience, if Ski Touring again, then only to Tatiana!
